{{italic title}}
The Taktikon Uspensky or Uspenskij is the conventional name of a mid-9th century Greek list of the civil, military and ecclesiastical offices of the Byzantine Empire and their precedence at the imperial court. Nicolas Oikonomides has dated it to 842/843,{{sfn|Oikonomidès|1972|pp=41ff.}} making it the first of a series of such documents ({{transl|grc|taktika}}) extant from the 9th and 10th centuries.{{sfn|Kazhdan|1991|p=2007}} The document is named after the Russian Byzantinist Fyodor Uspensky, who discovered it in the late 19th century in a 12th/13th-century manuscript (codex Hierosolymitanus gr. 39) in the library of the Eastern Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem, which also contained a portion of the Kletorologion of Philotheos, a later {{transl|grc|taktikon}}.{{sfn|Bury|1911|pp=10, 12}}
